Georgia On My Mind | A Traditional Mansion With a Modern Twist

Traditional Southern Mansion| House of Valentina

Today is our last bittersweet day in Copenhagen.  While we are sad to say good bye to all the incredible people who have poured out their love, kindness, support, and friendship on us over these last six years, we are excited to see what new adventure awaits us!  Rather than going directly out west with our 10 suitcases and 3 kids, we thought a little pit stop in Atlanta for a visit with family was in order, so we changed our plane tickets and will be heading there tomorrow to visit for two weeks. yay!

I have lamented for quite some time that my personal style isn’t so Southern anymore, but this antebellum mansion, located about an hour from Atlanta, has changed my perspective.  I totally have Georgia on my mind!  (And a lot of memories of visiting homes likes these set up for reenactments when I was young.)  With our life currently up in the air, this is definitely tempting me to become a Georgia Peach again!

GET THE LOOK::

To create a home similar to this, focus on balancing traditional pieces with modern lines and vice versa.  Use masculine materials alongside feminine textures along with color and pattern.  Here are a few of my personal recommendations::

Wallpaper makes a huge statement.  Try Graham and Brown or a classic check with modern pieces.

Create an interesting mix with a four poster bed and a modern leather chair!

This bed + chair are great bargains!

Use architectural shapes to store practical items in the bathroom.

Thomas Paul makes some beauty pillows designs, especially the owl pillow featured in the kids’ bedroom, which looks so great paired with the Black Jenny Lind Bed!

Display beautiful collectables under glass cloche domes

Keep the house tidy with unique wooden boxes.

Mix Foo Dog Statues in Turquoise with vintage Chinese Urns for a modern but compelling look.

Want some new and unique accessory and lighting options?  Aerin has some amazing options!

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!

Comment SHOP to get the links & more styling hacks!! 

Guys! I’m so pumped! I love creating a living space meant to dine in and that’s what we’ve created here! It’s luxe, warm, inviting, smells incredible and gives a sense that you want to linger forever!

Oh, and did I mention that it’s loaded with budget friendly finds & styling hacks? We’ve used everything from dinnerware from Amazon to glassware from IKEA to little marble bowls loaded with little nuts & treats from @hmhome !! 

The baskets, hurricanes, and bowls overflowing with wood and pine cones definitely give a nod to the fall season as do the warm brown velvet curtains (another Amazon find!) 

The only question we have to answer is- what’s for dinner?!
